Jon Staines	Monday 19 January 2009 1:41:33 am Hi, is it possible to define a block to contain module_result.content? I've only played around with eZ Flow so far, so the answer might be right in front of me and I haven't found it yet. The default layout seems to just control the right column through the flow layout and the main part comes from the usual module_result.content call in a template. But is there a way I could control everything through the flow layout? So I could have 3 columns, a left one with a menu block (I think I can do this one) plus some other blocks beneath it, a right one with some static content and fetch block, and a central column showing the content whether it is node content OR system (user/register etc). Cheers Jon
Gaetano Giunta	Monday 19 January 2009 8:01:29 am module_result.content is 'just another var' to the pagelayout template and every other 'block template' included from it. Just try adding it 2 times in a row inside the pagelayout to see what happens. Of course it is impossible to have it from within a template that is part (or included from a template that is part) of the module_result itself. If you want flow to display menus, I think you might experiment with calling node_view_gui et/ou attribute_view_gui from within the pagelayout, pointing it to the ezflow node. Beware: the number of sql requests done per page view is likely to skyrocket (bad for scalability) Principal Consultant International Business Member of the Community Project Board
Jon Staines	Tuesday 27 January 2009 8:57:53 am Thanks. I had a chance to play around with it just now and it did seem to work. I haven't looked at menus or how it affects the load/SQL calls but I will play around with it some more.
